Todays #DaringVentures café was a busy one. "What if we got rid of the blame & got curious about the needs of the children, teachers, & parents?" Imagine a world where we got rid of blame? This is what we are working towards in Fife. @suzannezeedyk.bsky.social

I've been doing HeartMath every day for 100 days, here is what I have noticed:
* Improved memory and focus
* Improved emotional resilience
* Increase in ability to regulate during moments of stress
* Improved relationships
* Feeling of being at ease in my own body

I tried out the HeartMath boardgame "Wild Ride to the Heart" today with an older pupil, then a younger pupil. It was enjoyed by both. A fun way to open up discussions about emotions @anam-alba.bsky.social

Here is Mrs Lang with her initial vision. It's people like her who make the world a better place by volunteering their time and energy into improving the quality of school environments for children. Thank you, Mrs Lang 🙏🥰

Some of our pupils joined in on the celebrations, taking part in kit bag activities and art.

Our Head Teacher, Mrs McIlhatton cut the ribbon to officially open the room.

We celebrated the official opening of our Kit Bag themed room. There has been a lot of hard work from our talented PSA, Mrs Lang who drew and painted each animal by hand. A beautiful space for our children.

It was a beautiful mindfulness session this evening. Today, we looked at journaling and setting intentions. What's seeds do we want to grow, and how can we create the right conditions. Thank you for your wisdom @lizcain.bsky.social

Play is therapeutic, it's relational, regulatory, involves communication and cooperation, and boosts emotional wellbeing. It's a fundamental part of childhood. It was so beautiful to hear the interactions between these two pupils.

"Relational concepts help us on a professional, but we are also living and breathing people. Understanding how relationships work affects us on a personal level." There is something so profound about the work we are undertaking. #DaringVentures @suzannezeedyk.bsky.social

We have repurposed a dull room to create a functional nurture space for exploring Kit Bag. Designed and painted by the hand of a very talented PSA (Mrs Lang). We can't wait to get children timetabled into this room and make use of this beautiful room. #KitBag #Nurture

"If your boundaries are too rigid, you're not responsive to others. If your boundaries are too loose, you're not responsive to yourself." @suzannezeedyk.bsky.social used the analogy of dancing (specifically Kate Silverton dancing on Strictly ) to talk about emotional boundaries.

Thank you @anam-alba.bsky.social for my beautiful friendship box. It's astonishing what can happen when like minded people collaborate. I'm truly grateful to connect with you all 🙏💕

Lynburn is proud to receive #TheLittleIceberg resources, which were the creative vision of @anam-alba.bsky.social and brought to life by Brett (who is taking the photo). @connectedbaby.bsky.social @shivieargyle.bsky.social @fiona13larkin.bsky.social @suzannezeedyk.bsky.social @lizcain.bsky.social

An amazing afternoon spent celebrating with @anam-alba.bsky.social as they launch resources to support the emotional development of children and young people. @fiona13larkin.bsky.social @shivieargyle.bsky.social @lizcain.bsky.social @suzannezeedyk.bsky.social @connectedbaby.bsky.social

We are creating a 4th nurturing space at Lynburn with a very specific purpose. Here is a sneak preview. Any guesses what it could bee? 🐝🐿🦉🦋🐍🐬🦢🦔

Thank you, Scottish Mediation, for today's session, which focused on scripting during & following conflict. An exciting collaboration in which we are co-creating resources and materials that will support the repair of a relationship following a rupture between adults and pupils.
